Heavenly Father, As the sun rises on this new Thursday morning, my heart is filled with gratitude for the gift of life, the breath in my lungs, and the countless blessings You pour into my life daily. Your mercies are new every morning, and Your faithfulness is great. Thank You for Your protection through the night and for this fresh start, an opportunity to grow and walk closer with You. Lord, I humbly seek Your guidance and wisdom for the day ahead. My mind is often filled with jumbled thoughts and decisions, both big and small. I lean not on my own understanding, but in all my ways I acknowledge You, trusting that You will make my paths straight. Send Your Holy Spirit to be my compass, to provide clarity, and to attune my heart to the whisperings of Your wisdom. Help me to know when to speak and when to listen, and to make choices that align with Your will and purpose. I pray for strength and endurance for whatever challenges may come my way. When I feel weak or weary, I remember that Your power is made perfect in my weakness. Renew my energy, refresh my soul, and give me the courage to face difficult situations with faith. Let Your strength rise in me like a fresh wind, so I may soar above the chaos and not grow weary in doing good. Grant me Your profound peace that surpasses all understanding to guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Help me to cast all my anxieties and worries at Your feet, knowing that You care for me and can handle what I cannot control. Replace my fear with unwavering faith and a sound mind. Lord, make me a vessel of Your love and grace today. Help me to be a blessing to others, to be patient, kind, and compassionate in my interactions. May my life be a living example, so that others may see Christ in me. I place my family, friends, and loved ones into Your capable hands. Protect them from harm and danger, cover them with Your precious blood, and surround them with Your peace. Heal those who are sick, comfort those who are lonely, and provide for those in need. I surrender my life, my plans, my dreams, and my entire being to You today. May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, starting in my own life. Let my words, thoughts, and actions bring glory to Your name. In Jesus' mighty name, I pray, Amen. - @lucys0255
